NOTICE

to current holders of the following notes of the Issuer

presently outstanding

GBP97,840,000 SAM Notes

(the "Noteholders" and the "Notes", respectively)

Capitalised terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the deed of master definitions dated 25 March 1999 between, amongst others, the Issuer and Barclays Bank PLC or the offering circular relating to the Notes dated 17 March 1999.

   1.         Proposed changes to the structure of the Barclays Group due to ring-fencing 

1.1 The "Ring-fencing" of day-to-day banking services is one of the reforms brought in by the UK government, aiming to strengthen the UK financial system, following the financial crisis that began in 2008.

1.2 Barclays intends to satisfy this requirement by setting up a ring-fenced bank, Barclays Bank UK PLC, which will be separate from Barclays Bank PLC. The two entities will operate alongside, but independently from, one another as part of the Barclays Group under Barclays PLC.

   2.         PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION OF BARCLAYS BANK PLC as a transaction COUNTERparty 

2.1 Save as set out in paragraph 2.2 below, it is intended that Barclays Bank PLC will be substituted by Barclays Bank UK PLC as a transaction counterparty for certain of the roles currently undertaken by Barclays Bank PLC relating to the issuance by the Issuer (including but not limited to Administrator and guarantor for the Originator in respect of the Mortgage Sale Agreement).

2.2 Barclays Bank PLC's role as Operating Bank in relation to the Transaction Account and GIC Account will not be transferred to Barclays Bank UK PLC. Instead, the role of Operating Bank in relation to the Transaction Account and GIC Account will remain with Barclays Bank PLC.

   3.         How will theSE changeS BE EFFECTED? 

Holders of Notes do not need to take any action for the changes described above to take place. Barclays is seeking approval from the Prudential Regulation Authority and the High Court of England and Wales (the "Court") to complete the restructuring, outlined above, using a legal process called a Ring-Fencing Transfer Scheme (the "Scheme") under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Subject to approval, Barclays expects to implement the restructuring and fully establish the ring-fenced bank in April 2018, ahead of the 1 January 2019 legislative deadline for implementation of ring-fencing.

   4.         Ways to make sure your views are considered at Court 

If you think that you may be adversely affected by the Scheme, you have the right to object to the Scheme and to have your objection heard by the Court. You do this by filing a statement with the Court prior to the hearing on 26 February 2018. A copy of the statement must also be sent to the Prudential Regulatory Authority. For further details, including key Court dates and guidance on how to participate in the process, please refer to our website home.Barclays/ring-fencing-explained.
